Is turret head attachment advisable to install into traditional counterbalance forklift? Whats the best height to work within if fitted into 3T LPG counterbalance? Is this attachment logical in operation?

contact the manufacturer of the machine with the attatchment specs and theywill re rate the machine and send you an updated data plate with the new load charts (they have to by law but i do not believe its free at least here in the us that is the case)
if its a big name machine im sure they will help u (toyota mitsu etc)

It's perfectly okay to use a turret head attachment with a counter-balance truck if you comply with the manufacturers lift ratings(attachment and truck). The attachment manufacturers should be able to help you with guideline figures but these are purely guidelines. On a 3 ton counter balance you should be able to work about 750Kg on a turret head safely..but don't take my word for it as the truck type and tyre type etc. all need to be taken into account.

The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
